The Importance of After-Sun Care

Sun exposure disrupts the delicate balance of your skin, often leading to dehydration and sensitivity. An effective after-sun product goes beyond mere hydration; it should help repair and soothe the skin while reinforcing its natural barrier.

Discover Made Of More’s Salvation Rescue Balm

The Salvation Rescue Balm is an intensive skincare solution tailored for skin that needs a restorative touch. Its advanced formulation is perfect for addressing issues such as severe redness, irritation, dehydration, and imbalance, making it an ideal choice for post-sun care.

  1. Advanced Hydration and Repair

Sun exposure can severely deplete your skin’s moisture, leading to a parched and uncomfortable feeling. The Rescue Balm is designed to offer profound hydration and support skin repair. Its formula includes ceramides, which are essential for restoring the skin barrier and preventing moisture loss.

  1. Soothing and Calming

The balm’s formulation is also intended to calm irritated and sensitive skin. By using gentle ingredients that nurture rather than overwhelm, the Rescue Balm helps alleviate redness and discomfort, making it an excellent choice for post-sun application.

  1. Enhancing Skin Appearance

The Rescue Balm features Koboblur, a unique ingredient known for its ability to enhance the skin’s appearance. Unlike many blurring agents, Koboblur is composed of minerals and natural ingredients, free from plastic particles. It creates a soft, powdery feel on the skin, helping to blur imperfections and reduce the visibility of pores and fine lines. This can be particularly beneficial after a day of sun exposure, as it helps you put your best face forward.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

Hemp Seed Oil: Known for its moisturising and anti-inflammatory properties, hemp seed oil helps to soothe and hydrate the skin.

CBG (Cannabigerol):This cannabinoid offers calming effects and supports overall skin health when inflammed, red skin is beaconing.

Sphinox Lift: A sophisticated ceramide ingredient that contributes to the skin’s lifting and firming, enhancing its appearance.

Ceramide IIIB: Essential for repairing the skin barrier and retaining moisture, ceramide IIIB plays a crucial role in restoring skin balance.

Koboblur: A standout in the formulation, Koboblur disperses light to minimise the appearance of imperfections, offering a smoother, more even skin texture.

The Rescue Balm  stands out for its innovative blend of ingredients. Clinical data shows that Koboblur offers superior skin-perfecting and imperfection-concealing properties compared to other materials. This ensures that not only does your skin feel better, but it also looks more refined and smooth.

Embrace Good Skin Care Practices

As a doctor, I always emphasise the importance of using products that restore rather than overwhelm sensitive skin. The Rescue Balm provides essential ceramides and fatty acids that help rebuild the skin barrier while offering an anti-inflammatory, soothing and non-greasy finish.

Incorporating a product like the balm into your post-sun skincare routine is a proactive way to maintain your skin’s health and appearance. It helps mitigate the adverse effects of UV rays, supports skin repair, and maintains your skin’s natural glow. By adopting this product into your skincare regimen, you’re taking a significant step towards preserving your skin’s long-term health. While sunscreen is vital for preventing UV damage, effective after-sun care ensures that your skin receives the necessary support for recovery.

Glycerin – A Closer Look

Written by Dr Dhesi, Clinical Lead - Made Of More.  

As a General Practitioner and aesthetic doctor with a special interest in women’s health, I understand the concerns many have about using glycerin in intimate products. Discussions around glycerin often evoke strong opinions, particularly when it comes to vaginal health, due to past studies and anecdotal reports. However, as with any health-related topic, it’s essential to assess the evidence carefully, considering the quality of research and the contexts in which certain findings were obtained.

It’s time to change the narrative

We speak to women on a daily basis about the impact changing hormones have on their skin, but not just on their faces. Vaginal dryness and similar hormone-related effects can be an uncomfortable topic but nevertheless it happens and at Made Of More we are helping to solve it rather than shy away from it.

Made of More - My Story

Written by Viv Barclay - http://www.mumentous.com/ 

I woke up one morning in 2015 feeling like I’d been given horse tranquillisers. This was nothing new. Menopause had turned me into feeling like a zombie most mornings since the year before. I made it to the sofa and flopped down in front of BBC Breakfast. I don’t think I’d even made myself a cuppa!
